Proof Before Pitch

Before I offered this strategy to others, I built it where it counts — inside my own brands.

Every framework, funnel, and system you’ll see here was tested in two very different businesses I built from scratch, using my force multiplier — proprietary AI I trained with my 20+ years of experience.

One was physical and local. The other — digital, scalable, and brand-driven.

These case studies show how the strategy flexes:
Lean operators. Scalable product plays. Real revenue. No fluff.

The System Behind These Results

Salida Walking Tours

From Blank Slate to #1 in Colorado

A town of 5,500. No team. No brand. Just curiosity and constraint — and a strategy system that turned a scratch-bult tour into a top-ranked operation.

Built cleaner and faster than anything we got from any agency or consultant.

OnDemand Audio Tours

Entering a Crowded Market — and Standing Out

Two entrenched competitors. No white space. We built a platform with emotional clarity, a frictionless funnel, and a brand that stood apart from day one.

Selected Past Clients

Before entering tourism, I spent 20+ years building strategy systems for consumer brands — from $5M to $100M+ in revenue.

The same conversion, content, and funnel logic applies.
 

The difference? Now it’s built specifically for operators and tourism teams.

A $1.4B global brand brought us in to revive sluggish franchise sales across Southeast Asia — Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China.

We applied our system in-market: sold out an entire country, reignited momentum in stalled regions, and launched the first legally licensed franchises in China.

 

When the stakes are high, we don’t theorize — we deliver.

This national startup franchisor needed more than ideas — they needed the engine. We built the entire franchise marketing system from scratch.

New brand. Scalable website. High-performing lead funnel. Discovery Day design. Sales collateral. Full sales architecture.

 

The result? Nationwide growth — and an acquisition by the industry’s largest player.

A $75M legacy brand, stuck in a multi-year slump. Outdated messaging. 1927-era branding. Systems built for logistics, not growth.

We modernized everything: brand strategy, identity, voice, funnel, and sales ops.

 

The result? The two strongest years in the company’s nearly 100-year history.
